DAWUH Islamic Education Jurnal Efforts To Improve The Achievement Of Schools Through The Implementation Of Study Based Management In Smkn 3 Rejang Lebong Asep Suparman1, Dr. Hadiwinarto2 Prodi PAI Fakultas Tarbiyah & Tadris, IAIN Bengkulu1, Fakultas FKIP Universitas Bengkulu2 [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The principal is the leader and manager in the school, managing the school in conditions of limited infrastructure and the majority of quadrant IV students require a lot of innovation that must be done. The purpose of writing this best practice is to present a description or description of innovations about improving limited school achievement and the majority of Qu- adran IV students through the application of prosi-based management. The formulation of the problem in writing this best practice: can the application of prosi-based school management improve school achievement in limited sarpras schools and the majority of quadran IV students? and what is the evidence that the application of prosi-based management can improve school achievement in limited sarpras schools and the majority of quadran IV students? The method used in writing this best practice is descriptive qualitative. The implementation of prosi-based school manage- ment began in mid-February 2014 until now. After the implementation of problematic-based school management and its solutions (prosi), every year school achievement has increased. Based on the results and discussion of best practices, the following conclusions can be drawn: (1) The implementation of prosi management in sarpras schools is limited and the majority of quadrant IV students at SMKN 3 Rejang Lebong Bengku- lu Province have proven to be able to improve school achievement; (2) Evidence of the successful implementation of prosi- based management at SMKN 3 Rejang Lebong are: (1) in 2015 the school received an award from the Minister of Education and Culture regarding schools that have high integrity in organizing the National Examination; (2) in 2016 began to receive the appointment of LPMP Bengkulu to become a model school for the Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI); in 2017 the school was still a SPMI model school and students won achievements in the O2SN and Vocational High School Student Competency Contest (LKS) at the Regency, Provincial and National Levels. In 2018, he won many achievements in the LKS SMK at the Bengkulu Province level including 1st place in Livestock and Fishery, 2nd place in Pharmacy and 3rd place in IT / Networking support. In 2018, the writer as the principal of the school received an award from the Minister of Education and Culture as the second winner of the Best Practice Competition for the National Level Vocational Principals. In 2019, students of SMKN 3 Rejang Lebong won 3rd place in the field of pencak silat in the National Vocational High School Student Sports Olympiad (O2SN). Another proof of the success of the application of prosi management is that many other schools have begun to arrive for comparative studies at SMKN 3 Rejang Lebong, such as: SMKN 2 Bengkulu Tengah and SMKN 2 Seluma. Then in 2019 SMKN 3 Rejang Lebong was designated as a reference school by the Directorate of Vocational Development of the Ministry of Education and Culture. Keyword: School Achievement, Management, Prosi 97 98 | Dawuh : Vol. 1, No. 3, November 2020 INTRODUCTION Managing an education unit with the majority of student input from children from economically disadvan- taged and academically weak families is certainly a challenge in itself at SMK Negeri 3 Rejang Lebong Bengkulu Province which has limited facilities and infrastructure. In these limited conditions, through the application of problematic-based management and solutions (prosi), the school can nurture the potential of students and ultimately result in increased school performance at the district, provincial and national levels. The principal plays an important role in leading the progress of the school he leads. Danim (2004) argues that a school's success is largely determined by the leadership capacity of the principal in addition to the pres- ence of competent teachers in the school. In line with this statement, Hendarman (2015) states that the exis- tence of the principal is a central figure who can change the face of the school, whether for the better or vice versa from time to time. In relation to school achievement or student achievement at school, Keith & Girling (1991) cites the Coleman Report which states that in school effectiveness research, around 32% of student achievement is influenced by the quality of school management. This means that the role and function of the principal is so important in improving student achievement and the school he leads. Leading a school with limited facilities and infrastructure (sarpras) is certainly different from leading a school with adequate sarpras. Likewise, it is certainly different to lead a school where the majority of students are in the quadrant IV category (in terms of lack of academic ability and economic ability of their parents are also weak) from leading a school where the majority of students are not quadrant IV category. SMK Negeri 3 Rejang Lebong which is located at Jalan Haji Agus Salim, Lubuk Ubar Village, Curup Selatan District, Rejang Le- bong Regency, is one of the ex-small vocational high schools in SMP. This one-stop SMK program is a program of the Vocational Secondary Directorate of the Ministry of National Education in 2004. It was established with the Decree of the Regent of Rejang Lebong number 046 of 2004. METHOD The method used in the writing of this best practice is descriptive qualitative, meaning that it describes the tools / instruments procedures and how to solve problems in a narrative way. The tools / instruments used in data collection on the presentation of this best practice are: (1) learning logs, (2) testimonials, (3) interviews, (4) documentation, consisting of photos and videos. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Initial data, prior to the implementation of proxy-based management, precisely at the time before the au- thor was entrusted with being the principal at SMKN 3 Rejang Lebong, the situation as of January 2014 can be described as follows: (1) approximately 3,500 m2 of land; (2) there are only 9 classrooms; (3) there are only 3 student practice rooms; (4) inadequate number of student desks; (5) inadequate practical equipment; (6) in- adequate sports equipment; the total number of students in class X + XI + XII is only 105 students; a total of only 23 new students for 3 class X; (7) there are only 3 (three) majors / competencies of expertise, namely: fi- shery agribusiness, poultry agribusiness and computer and network engineering; (8) frequent student fights; (9) there are no graduates who work after graduating from school; (10) low teacher work ethic; (11) very few cooperation networks with the business world / industrial world (DU / DI); and (12) school achievement is still low. Then on February 15, 2014 the author was entrusted with being the principal at SMKN 3 Rejang Lebong. In the first month of serving as principal of the school, the author consolidated and compiled an innovation pro- gram towards school progress through the application of proxy-based management in dealing with various problems faced by schools. The first step taken was conducting a workshop on the formulation of the vision, mission and objectives of SMKN 3 Rejang Lebong which was attended by all teachers and education staff. The second step, inviting vocational education practitioners to dissect the curriculum and goals of vocational edu- cation. The third step is to hold work motivation training based on emotional and spiritual intelligence for teachers and education personnel. This is done to build a team work and a joint commitment to making progressive school changes. The process of implementing this proxy-based management is carried out in several steps as follows: first, a school management team is formed, which consists of: the principal, the vice principal, the head of the school admin- istration staff, the head of expertise competency and the head of the internal quality assurance system (SPMI).
